I had several rabbit coats as my main winter coats during the years I was living Michigan and Chicago and walking alot. Fur would keep out the wind like nothing else but I couldn't afford anything better than rabbit. I never had a shedding problem but rabbit does wear out faster than other furs - after a couple months, I would have a bald spot on my shoulder where my purse was rubbing all the fur off. I think rabbit is fine for trimming SCA garments. Just make sure you can take it off easily - real fur doesn't go in the washing machine or even to the dry cleaners.
